Building a Parent Iridabenzene Structure from Acetylene and Dichloromethane on an Iridium Center
Metallabenzenes are interesting species which have attracted ample interest from the academic community because their structures, electronic properties and reactivity. Despite recent significant advances in this field, which have been reviewed lately, and...
Dibenzyl and diallyl 2,6-bisiminopyridinezinc (II) complexes: selective alkyl migration to the pyridine ring leads to remarkably stable dihydropyridinates
Transition metal complexes stabilized by Bis(Imine)Pyridine (BIP) ligands are very attractive species due to their high activity and selectivity towards diverse catalytic reactions such as organic hydrosilylation and hydrogenation, or olygomerisation and...
Glyconanosomes: Disk-Shaped Nanomaterials for the Water Solubilization and Delivery of Hydrophobic Molecules
Herein, we describe the first report on a new class of disk-shaped and quite monodisperse water-soluble nanomaterials that we named glyconanosomes (GNS). GNSs were obtained by sliding out the cylindrical structures formed upon self-organization and photopolymerization...
Interconversion of Quadruply and Quintuply Bonded Molybdenum Complexes by Reductive Elimination and Oxidative Addition of Dihydrogen
A series of dimolybdenum dihydride complexes supported by amidinate ligands and featuring a Mo—Mo quadruple bond, MoII2, has been prepared and characterized by NMR spectroscopy and x-ray crystallography. UV irradiation (365 nm) of one of these complexes, namely the...
